PARIS: Moseley finally gets some offensive support

"He has pitched his tail off every game and we hadn't scored for
him,'' said Brad Hawpe, who had a two-hit, two-RBI day. "And he has
been a pro about it.''

Moseley's career was a hodgepodge of different roles for
different teams. He started nine games for the Yankees last year,
three for the Angels in 2009 before getting hurt, rode the Angels
and their minor-league roller-coaster in 2008, and was an Angels
reliever in 2007.

"Now he knows his strengths and weaknesses,'' said Black, who
worked with Moseley in Anaheim. "He knows what he can do to get
guys out.''

After seeing too many teammates retired too many times, Moseley
and Padres runs finally collided. Although toiling for the Padres
-- compared to the potent Yankees -- molds Moseley into a better
pitcher.

"It definitely makes you really focus on your job one pitch at a
time when you don't have that luxury of scoring a lot of runs,'' he
said.

Not so Sunday, with the Padres' bats declining another
sabbatical.

But before the outburst, Moseley didn't mope.

"He wasn't disappointed he wasn't getting 'Ws'; he was more
disappointed that the team wasn't get 'Ws,' '' Balsley said. "Never
once did he waiver mentally throughout the whole period.

"He's new to our team this year. But he has blended right in and
is completely on board in how we play baseball.''

Keeping the faith has long been a Padres mantra. We also know
that Moseley won't stop believing.
